A teenager has been charged with murder after stabbing her stepfather to death in front of her four-year-old half-brother after being called a “whore”. Timur Magomadov, 31, berated stepdaughter Svetlana Martynova, 18, for “lacking respect” and failing to appreciate her “comfortable life” in his house in the Russian city of Engels.

He then punched her in the face, according to the Russian Investigative Committee, which probes serious crime.
